#tfw i-D’s the female gaze issue wins cover of the year

Yay!

Team i-D are very proud to announce that we won the coveted Cover of the Year award at the inaugural Swipecast Awards. Starring British beauty Adwoa Aboah, lensed by the inimitable Harley Weir and styled by our very own Senior Fashion Editor Julia Sarr Jamois, our Pre-Fall Issue was a celebration of female empowerment and the beauty of the female gaze.

"Fashion images are a reflection of what is happening to culture at a particular time," Harley told i-D late last year, "it marks a generation". "This was a cover that really meant a lot to me," says Julia, "it's an honour for it to be recognised and a testament to the power of the female gaze".

A big thank you to everybody at Swipecast and the esteemed panel of judges for making our cover dreams come true.
